Boy Who Has Been Reincarnated Twice Spends Peacefully as an S-Rank Adventurer, ~ I who was a Sage and a Hero of Previous World, Will Live in Peacefulness in the Next World~ - Chapter 253

“Oh, you forgot about me!

The young man, who seems to have been an acquaintance of Mina’s, is enraged when he is told that she does not remember him.

“My name is Triton!　Triton Venek!

“Triton …… Venek?”

“Look, there was a gathering of wizards in King’s Landing the spring before last!”

I didn’t know there was such a gathering in King’s Landing.

“Ah, yes, there was such a troublesome thing. I was forced to go there by my grandfather…”

“Yes!　That’s where we met!”

Triton, frustrated by Mina’s inability to recall his name, tells her about those days.

“I was there when my father went to greet your grandfather, wasn’t I?

“I was there when my father went to greet your grandfather. …… Oh, Mr. Venek, your grandfather’s man!　He’s the son of ……, right?”

“Yes!　Finally you remember!

Mr. Triton smiles broadly when Mina remembers.

“That time I challenged you to a match!　I challenged you to a match at the entrance examination of the magic academy!

“Did he ever say that to me?　As I recall, I was at …… at the time.”

“Let’s leave it at that.”

It was Principal Senzal who interrupted the conversation with these words.

He did not seem to be interrupting to join the conversation, but seemed to be rather angry.

“You are supposed to be in class at this time. Why are you here?

Ah, I see, the reason why Principal Senzar was tense was because he was here when he was supposed to be in class.

I guess that means that the students around him are also abandoning their classes and gathering here.

“That’s because I brought him here, Headmaster.

It was not Mr. Triton who answered Principal Senzal’s question, but a stranger.

“Mr. Quandreau, is it you?”

The man called “Quantrow” smirked at Principal Senzal’s words.

“Yes, I heard that the grandson of the former headmaster is taking the exam. I brought the students to see him because I thought he must be very talented if he was related to the former headmaster. There is no rule against observing an entrance examination.

“But that doesn’t mean you can’t have feelings for those who take the test. ……”

I don’t mind, do you?

When the headmaster of the Zenzar School shows some reluctance, Mina tells him that she is fine with it.

“Mina-kun?

“Oh, you are the grandson of the former headmaster Nagibert!　I’ll be looking forward to your wonderful magic.”

“Yes, I’ll show you something that won’t be too much trouble for you.

Dr. Kwantrow smiled happily, and Mina smiled smugly, but her smile was a little scary.

“Oh my God, Mina’s so angry!

“What?　Is that so?”

Gyro-kun shudders and nods his head.

“When he gets really angry, he usually smiles in that classy way, doesn’t he?”

“Hmm, Mina is the perfect enemy.”

“When that happens, we get involved too. ……”

Everyone let out a sigh, as if there was something that only Gyro and his friends could see.

“That’s why I’m going to show you something. I’m going to start off with a bang, and you guys can show off yourselves.

Mina returns and tells me about the test policy with great enthusiasm.

“Oh, you sure?”

“Yes, that’s good. That’s the type of person you need to beat to a pulp and show them who’s better.”

“Heh heh, that old man must have been noticed by a lot of people.”

Gyro-kun chuckles happily when he is told that he can be loud.

“What are you talking about? They’ve been messing with us. They’re not trying to get to us, they’re trying to use us as their stallion for some other purpose. They didn’t even look at us when they were talking to us.”

Ms. Mina knew from her conversation with Dr. Kwantrow that he was working for some purpose.

But I see, if you wonder why so many people came to see our examination, it was because of such a backstory,” she said.

“We will now begin the test.

As we were talking, the school seemed to have finished its discussion and preparation, and someone who looked like an examiner raised his voice and started to explain the rules to us.

“For the test, you will shoot magic at the target set up over there, and the results will be judged by the examiners.

There are a number of targets in the testing area.

“Okay, first participant, please stand over here.”

The examiner called Mina to move to a place a little away from the target.

Then the test begins!

“Let’s do it then!

Despite the fact that many people were watching her, Mina did not seem to be overawed.

She then concentrated her magical power and activated her magic.

“Let’s go!　Lightning Strike!”

Mina’s lightning strikes the target.

What the hell is that?

A pillar of light!

And when the lightning hit the target, it blew it away with a roar.

“Well, I guess that’s about it.”

As you can see, the Lightning Strike that Mina unleashed is a magic characterized by its flashy appearance.

While it is very powerful, it is not suitable for small targets like the one we are aiming at this time.

It is a magic that is not suitable for the test, but what is Mina’s intention ……

“Bah, no way!　Lightning magic?

“Unbelievable!　Lightning magic is a very difficult magic used by the court magician class!　And a young girl like that?

And how powerful!

Oh, I see, Mina-san must have appealed to the examiners that she can successfully pierce her prey even with the high power magic which is difficult to control precisely.

As a proof, the target was blown to pieces.

The examiners seem to be surprised by her bold appeal.

Even in the past, magic with precision control was favored in this kind of shooting game.

“……?　Wait, when did you cast the spell?

“Spell?　Come to think of it, there was no sign of any spells being cast ……?　You don’t think it’s unarmed magic?

“No, no, no, that’s exactly what you’re talking about!

No, no, that’s exactly what I meant!　Why do you think there is no way that magic is chantless?

Mina-san seems to have learned only minimal magic skills due to her grandfather’s educational policy, but the others must have been different. ……

Oh, maybe Mina’s educational policy is in line with today’s basics as well as the school’s radical educational policy: ……

Hmmm…I wonder if a lot of things have changed in education policy while I’ve been dead.

But I was amazed at the progress and changes in technology and education when I reincarnated from my previous life to my previous life, so I guess there must be some advantages to this way of doing things.

“But that’s not important, did you pass the test?”

The examiners came to their senses when Mina-san called out to them in frustration as the examiners continued their discussions.

“Uh-huh. You passed!　The power, accuracy, and chanting speed are all excellent.

“By the way, I’d love to hear more about the magic chanting you just did: ……”

“Okay, I’ll be next!”

The examiner was about to say something, but was drowned out by the energetic voice of Gyro-kun, who came in his place.

“Well, well, that was the grandson of the former headmaster. It’s only natural that he should be able to do that well. I’m sure this is where the real work begins.

The students who had been discussing Mina-san’s magic turned their sullen glances toward Gyro-kun.

“He looks like a swordsman, but why is he here to take the test?

“Ha, there are people like that from time to time. There are people like that who don’t know their place. ……”

Flame bomb!

Gyro shot out a spell, and the target was blown off the ground to form a small crater.

What?

“Yes, I smashed you to pieces!”

No, isn’t the purpose of “shattered” something different?

“What is the power of magic now?

“It’s as powerful as high-level magic used by upperclassmen!”

“He’s actually a magician?

The students were astonished by the power of Gyro-kun’s magic.

Indeed, Gyro-kun looks like a warrior, which must be surprising to those who have studied magic professionally.

“He passed!”

I’m next!

Mr. Gyro is replaced by Mr. Megli this time.

“Windcutter!”

Mina-san does not do it as spectacularly as the previous two, but uses wind magic to cut the target from the base.

The wind bounces the target upward, chopping it up little by little from the base, until finally the head of the target is cut into small pieces.

“Pass!”

“”””……!?””””

“Hey, come on, aren’t you a little plain?”

“Wasting magic doesn’t pay the bills.”

When Mr. Gyro asks if she’s not too plain, Megli coolly replies that she doesn’t want to do anything wasteful.

“It’s good, isn’t it?　Even with ordinary magic, if you can do it with such power and precision, you can see the difference in your abilities.”

With that, Mina turned her attention to the students.

“What is that wind magic ……?”

“Was wind magic a magic that could be manipulated with such finesse?”

No, no, no. Wind magic is rather a very precise magic.

“Well then, it’s my turn now. Oh, I’m so nervous!

Mr. Norbu, who has replaced Mr. Megli, looks a little anxious.

“I’m a monk now, what about attack magic?

“Ah, ah, so ……”

“Earth Needle!”

Numerous rock spikes released by Mr. Norbu leave holes in the target.

“””…… huh?””””

“Passed!”

“Well, you managed to hit it. I was worried because I’m not very good at offensive magic, but I’m glad I managed it.

“Oh, so you’re not good at ……?”

“Then what are you good at ……?”

Now it’s my turn.

It’s Liliela’s turn to take over from Norb.

“Ice Arrows!”

Liliela creates countless ice arrows and hits the target with all of them.

The moment the last arrow hit the target, it shattered into pieces and fell into the air.

Hah!””””””

“Passed!”

“I’m an A-rank adventurer, after all. I hope my magic is at least not embarrassing.”

“What’s with the ridiculous amount of magic arrows now ……”

“How can you hit all those targets with that thing?　It’s usually out of control. ……”

“I mean, how much magic does she have? ……”

That means everyone passed except me.

The examiners, or rather everyone in the room, were staring at everyone with astonished eyes.

“Who the hell are these people ……?”

“Didn’t we just see a bunch of guys who are clearly not wizards using magic?”

How come monks can use offensive magic in the first place?

“I mean, can they all do magic? ……”

“Hmm.”

To their surprise, Mina-san smiled with satisfaction and spoke to Mr. Triton.

“Yes, you asked me what I’ve been doing all this time. I’ve been gaining experience by becoming an adventurer.

“You’re an adventurer ……?”

Yes, I am. And now I’m a C-rank.”

“A C-rank adventurer?

The students are surprised to hear that Mina is a C-rank adventurer.

“C-rank adventurers are skilled adventurers, aren’t they?　Can you become a C rank adventurer in just one year?

“No, it’s impossible!　Even D ranks are considered full-fledged adventurers, and if they could be promoted in one year, they would be considered experts!

I thought the students at the academy weren’t interested in outside things, but they seem to know a lot more about adventurers than I thought.

“You’re ranked C?

I’m not the only one. Everyone here is above C rank.

“All of them?

Gyro and Megli posed proudly at Mina’s comment, and Norbu smiled shyly and bitterly.

Yes, I and Liliela are C-rank or higher adventurers, too, I guess.

“By no chance, they are all C-rank adventurers. But then again, that doesn’t explain their brilliant magical manipulations.

I wonder if that has something to do with the fact that they are all chantless.”

When the examiners heard that we were adventurers, they were convinced.

Yes, the best adventurers are really great.

But we’re not that great, since we’ve just become adventurers and we’re almost new.

Then, the last one is also …….”

But for some reason, the examiners’ eyes were on me.

“”””Ji ……””””

Huh?　Huh?　Why am I the center of attention?

“What kind of magic is this guy going to use this time ……?”

“All the other guys were great, and he’s going to use some bad magic too. ……”

It seems that everyone else’s flashy magic has made them expect what kind of magic I can do.

Ugh, I wish everyone would stop using so much flashy magic.

I’ll have to try to make my magic less flashy.

“…… would be a good place to start.”

The most obvious magic would be the one that is not as flashy as the ones you used, but still conveys its power to the examiners.

When I reach the attack position, I gather magic power in my hand and activate the magic.

Dimension Breaker!

When the magic is activated, a black line runs through the center of the target.

“What the hell is that?”

The next moment, the target, which was a perfect circle, suddenly changes its shape and transforms into an ellipse.

“””””What?

The target quickly transformed into an elongated oval and finally disappeared as a single line.

Yes, this is the same spatial magic that was used to defeat the demons that appeared near the town of Togai.

This time, the target was made smaller in scale, and only the target was sucked into the interdimensional space, and disappeared.

Unlike other magic, this magic does not shine or destroy the target so it will not be unnecessarily conspicuous.

And by activating the spatial magic indoors, which is troublesome to specify the effective coordinates, the examiners must have understood that I have a certain ability to control the magic.

It is quite troublesome to specify the coordinates of spatial magic without a marker.

But for some reason, the examiners didn’t declare that I passed the exam.

Huh?　That’s funny, I destroyed the target.

“Oh, maybe I had to hit the target with magic to destroy it instead of sucking it in?

Oh, I forgot that the target itself could be a magic item for measuring the power of the received magic!

In this case, do we have to re-measure?　Or am I the only one disqualified for not showing results?

What am I going to do?

“No, that was …….”

“That kind of magic ……”

“What the ……”

Hee,hee!　This could be bad!

“squeak squeak.”

And that’s when it happened.

Fluff passed by me and took up a test position on the other target.

“Mohammed?”

“What is this creature?”

The examiners and the surrounding spectators are puzzled by the sudden appearance of the mofumofu.

Yes, to be honest, I am puzzled too.

What is going on?

“…… cue!”

Then, when he had gathered enough attention, Mohamofu nodded his head in satisfaction and began to gather magic power in his hands.

Ah, perhaps that’s the guy from Mohumofu ……

“Cue!　Cu-cu-cu!”

As I predicted, Mofumofu stored up magic power and waved his arms vigorously.

“””””What?

“Kyuhnnn!”

Satisfied with the destruction of the target, Mohamofu returned to the others, his footsteps making a shuffling sound.

“Um, I’m sorry. It’s my pet, but he saw everyone else doing it and wanted to copy them. I mean, he’s just a kid.”

“Huh?　Uh-huh. Little kids have a tendency to do that. ……”

Oh, good. He doesn’t seem angry.

Okay, okay, let’s hear it now.

“Well, is it right if I pass the test?　I did break the target, though, didn’t I?”

”

“Oh, yes, that’s right. You broke it. I guess I passed. ……”

Thank goodness. It looks like I passed.

Well, we’ll see you later.

It’s getting very delicate, and I don’t want to stay here forever because I’ve done what I have to do.

I walked back to the others as fast as I could, trying not to look rushed.

“Hey everyone, I passed the exam too!

“Cu-cu-cu!”

“I wasn’t worried about Lex passing from the start.”

I was more worried about overdoing it.”

When Lilieira said this, everyone laughed.

“What?　What is that? That’s terrible!

You’re going too far, like you’re some kind of a destroyer of people.

We’re trained to use maximum force with pinpoint accuracy indoors so as not to cause damage to the surrounding area.

“Well then, since we all passed the test, can we go home for today?

Mina-san asks permission to go home from the school, where she gazes blankly in the direction of the target.

“……?　Mm-hmm. You’re tired, aren’t you? I’ll have my staff contact you later about what you need. I’m sure you won’t be able to get to class today anyway.

Too busy for class?　What does that mean?

Is there something the teachers have to do that takes precedence over class?

Well, as a national institution, it may be more of a research institution than an educational institution.

For a while I wondered what was going to happen, but I’m glad I passed the exam.

Breathing a sigh of relief, we set out for home.

Huh?　I thought I heard something ……?
